LAST SNOWBY ERIC VAN LUSTBADER
Coming February 16th!
Jack McClure, Special Advisor and closest friend to the new President of the United States, interprets the world very differently from the rest of us. It’s his greatest liability, and his greatest asset.
An American senator, supposedly on a political trip to the Ukraine, turns up dead on the island of Capri. When the President asks him to find out how and why, Jack sets out from Moscow across Eastern Europe, following a perilous trail of diplomats, criminals, and corrupt politicians. Thrust into the midst of a global jigsaw puzzle, Jack’s unique dyslexic mind allows him to put together the pieces that others can’t even see.
Still unreconciled to the recent death of his daughter and the dissolution of his marriage, Jack takes on a personal mission along with his official one: keeping safe from harm his two unlikely, unexpected, and incompatible companions—Annika Dementieva, a rogue Russian FSB agent, and Alli Carson, the President’s daughter. As he struggles to keep both young women safe and unearth the answers he seeks, hunted by everyone from the Russian mafia to the Ukrainian police to his own NSA, Jack learns just how far up the American and Russian political ladders corruption and treachery has reached.
In the vein of Eric Van Lustbader’s latest bestselling Jason Bourne novels, Lustbader takes us on an international adventure in this powerful page-turner that will keep you reading through the night.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Eric Van Lustbader was born and raised in New York City. He is the author of numerous bestselling thrillers, including The Ninja and The Bourne Legacy. His books have been translated into over twenty languages. He lives in Manhattan and on the South Fork of Long Island with his wife, Victoria.
REVIEW:
Last Snow is a taut thriller by Eric Van Lustbader, the best-selling author who took over the Jason Bourne series, with The Bourne Deception. Last Snow is the followup to Van Lustbader’s First Daughter and features several of the same characters, beginning with its colorful protagonist, Jack McClure, President Edward Carson, his wife Lyn and daughter Alli, best friend of McClure’s deceased daughter Emma. This book finds McClure in Russia on assignment as presidential confidante and protector of Alli. A detour to save a stunning blonde from an untimely demise leads McClure and Alli on a tense trip through the former Soviet Union, where their wits somehow keep them alive, in a land where nothing is as it seems to be and no one is to be trusted. Van Lustbader weaves an intriguing tale which will be interesting to both thriller devotees as well as casual readers. I could not put this book down and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a danger-filled novel full of spies, counter spies, and the fate of the world at hand.
